The Advanced Heat Mat is the ideal heating mat for gentle heat. Komodo Advanced Heat Mats are manufactured in the UK to strict UK safety standards and provide an excellent 24 hour heat source. Advanced Heat Mats can be used as the sole heat source for certain species of reptiles, or in conjunction with another heat source such as a black or white ceramic heat emitter to satisfy reptiles that prefer higher temperatures. Heat mats do not emit light, making them ideal for vivariums found in bedrooms.
